I will probably pony up, but my first thing I said was ‘fuck”. I'm not sold on the whole collectors edition deal . I really don't need that extra, useless swag they seem to think it's cool. Just put the CDs and safe easy to use boxes, not some clever scratch inducing packaging, and some notes would be good.
When they put out the Europe 72 set, they later offered a music only set. It would be nice if they would re-release some of the older sets that are out of print (the Fillmore West 69 set, for instance), maybe in some less-expensive format .
I suspect the limited runs, and superduper editions are to put a fire under people to get them to buy, because as soon as it is out there, someone will rip them, and offer them up for download . This tends to lock out those you do not have the money at this moment .
Still, compared to some artists, (I'm looking at you Bob Dylan) these edition are a good value . But man …

10-18-72 is the only show of the bunch that I would consider buying but I'm pretty much done buying any GD music. I don't find Jeffrey Norman is any better than Charlie Miller when it comes to remastering these shows.

Two places where I go to hike etc. have crap reception. What I got is what I got on my phone.

only 2?? Damn near every Mt Hiking trail in the Flagstaff area has crappy reception. Due to sky high prices, some less wealthy folk have to pirate some shows when or if the SBDs are not available on bt.etree or completely sold out.

arrrrgh! ..torrenters without sin cast the first stoner haha! :-D

I just spent 5 days off the grid! Glorious silence! I actually prefer the sounds of mountain silence over the sounds of recorded Jerry. Blasphemer that I am. Full body immersion, like back in the day when it was happening live, to me GD live was not just for the ears and mind but for the whole body.

I love the Olympic National Park! This was our 31st honeymoon.
